Gardo,
Waiting for your report and photos of your new bobber.

Ok guys was a full day, got the oil changed, put in the magnetic plug thanks Barnone, the carb tuned up a bit, and checked it all over, an awesome sound my friends could not believe that its a 250. Sure as hell doesnt sound like it

Gardo,
Good news but you are not going to get away with "the carb tuned up a bit" without a little explanation.

Aye, and no pics when everyone over ten has a digital camera or two ... but good to hear it is running and impressing the 'hood!

Ok I'm the tuning was more of an adjustment but there were a few adjustments on the bike that needed to be done. Handlebars brakes lights. The small stuff.
Ok gotta pop getting the stink eye from the wife since we are at the churches St Pats day feast dinner.

Jape pics on the phone not many since the battery died.

oh and the stickers didnt stay on any longer than it did to get the oil out

OK I like it - definitely going to need to get one - along with a manual since I am not technically inclined with this stuff...but seriously, throw a nice set of 18" apes on there and I'm good :)

Gardo,
Looking good. Did you check the chain? Mine was tighter than a drum.
Looks like you got the same Harbor Freight M/C lift that I have.

That is classic! Bobber, dude with Brando jacket, blue jeans. (which don't last 30 seconds in an off)

Glad you have a full face helmet though.

Yup .5 inch play on the chain, quite acceptable. cant resist a bike lift for 70 bucks. couple of other things was the + battery cable was dangling so I had to zip tie it to the frame. the bike only took 1.2 liters of oil need to check it tomorrow. Also might have to adjust the shifter, finding Neutral was a bit tricky
What sucks is that its supposed to rain up here over the next few days
